I recently found a 1967 Beaumont SD, the owner says the car was specially ordered with a 350 in it... it looks true everything in the car says small block, Just wondering if this could be posible? I did a bunch of research and there is no SD350 in 1967, VIN # soon to come, any information is muchly appreciated!! Thanks

No such thing. If you can post the engine numbers we can help you decode it though.

And supposedly a 6 cylinder in the early SD cars in 67.
The VIN and cowl tag numbers as well as engine numbers will tell the story.

LOL, sorry, I was not implying you couldn't tell the two apart!
I was trying to say that it is not impossible that it could have been a 6 cyl car originally but my wording was not very good!
I have to look but I think there was an optonal 220 horse 283 (4 barrel dual exhaust) available in 67.

The only thing that got a 350 in 67 was a Camaro.

lol, well if it turns out its a numbers matching small block, if i threw a 396 in it and made it a SD396 would it hurt the value much?
